The long torturous months of bed rest are finally over, and Olivia Capri has four perfect beautiful daughters to show for it. The babies are doing great, and she would be too if she had her husband by her side.

Nearly a lifetime of friendship was almost lost when Zac Bishop tried to convince Olivia not to marry Anthony Capri. He knew in his gut the man was no good, but Olivia could not be swayed; now he wishes he had tried harder.

Anthony never showed for the birth of his daughters, and Olivia struggles with warring emotions of fear and anger. She never suspected the man she married was a complete and utter stranger, but his disappearance has opened her eyes to the depths of his deceptions. Zac hates that he was right about Anthony, but despite their harsh words at Olivia’s wedding, he will do everything in his power to help her. He has loved her from afar for so long, and now that she is up close and personal, nothing is going to get in his way again.

The layers of lies and deception are peeled back to expose more than just a hardened criminal. They also reveal a love that, until now, has been hidden behind the guise of friendship, and for which there has never been the right time to divulge. The breadth of Anthony’s deceit is at times confusing, but the plot line never ceases to captivate you. I am just as thrilled that with everything Olivia is bombarded with, she is consistently strong-willed and devoted to helping Zac and keeping her children safe.
